Accelerating fbthrift Builds by Skipping Folly Tests in Dependency Compilation

Summary: fbthrift relies on folly, which by default builds all tests—significantly slowing down the process. This update separates the builds for fbthrift dependencies and fbthrift itself. By passing --no-tests to the dedicated dependencies build, folly tests are skipped, reducing about two-thirds of folly's build targets and noticeably accelerating the fbthrift build.
